Fling Sling and Battle your Way to Victory

Discover the gruesome  armoury  of siege warfare and set up your own exciting castle siege. Learn where to position your archers, how to load your catapult, and  exactly where to aim– then catapult your way to victory!
In the Middle Ages, castles controlled the land  around them and provided bases from which  knights could ride out to attack the enemy. 
With detailed information on the armour and  weapons used by medieval knights and soldiers,  this essential work explains how opposing armies  attacked on foot and on horseback – with a  terrifying range of siege engines invented to  break down a castle’ s defences. 
Each spread is introduced with a diary entry,  alternately from the attackers and defenders,  as the siege progresses. The book also details  the deadly array of weapons and armour used  in medieval warfare.
What’ s more, there are a  mangonel catapult and three targets to build! The  tuck box contains push-out model sheets for a  complete mangonel catapult and targets.
